"So, what you're saying is that it's only a matter of time before we finally get to see your arquebus in action on the battlefield?" Recalling everything Valyr told them earlier as they arrived at the center of the military base, both Hal and Vera continued to look at him with excitement.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you bring out your arquebus earlier?"

"Well, it still takes a while to get it ready for firing, even if we compare it to the arquebus you've distributed across the battlefield so far," replied Valyr to Hal's question with a slight shrug, only to then look at them with a slight knowing smile. 

"Aside from that, would the two of you have been thoroughly convinced of your conclusion from earlier if I had used the arquebus?"

Knowing that Valyr was referring to their conclusion of who among them grew the most since leaving the inheritance, the two unsurprisingly shook their heads in response.
